vbied Lyrics

here's a story
a story of a man
who was going on shift
in afghanistan
he was putting on his kevlar
and his IBA
going to pull gateguard
for 12 hours a day
little did he know
he had no clue
what this vehicle was about to do
he called the SOG but got no reply
and he got this gut feelin
he was gonna die
and with no mirror
he's unable to see
that undernieth this vehicle
there was a V. B. I. E. D. (dont want to blow up , dont want to blow up (repeats))

i hate to be the bearer
of bad news
but in this case
the man had to choose
to let the truck go in
or turn it around
so the man got nervous
and he chambered a round
he still had the gut feelin
deep within
that he was gonna die today
along with all of his friends
he still had the gut feelin
deep within
that he was gonna die today
along with all of his friends
he knew his duty
he did what he had to do
he sacrificed his own life
to save me and you
now this is the moral
the moral of the story
that if your gonna die today
you need to go out in glory
and watch out for the V. B. I. E. D. (dont want to blow up , dont want to blow up (repeats))
